As I said in my last post, recently a friend of mine had recommended a couple of great books to me that have aided my wife and I in teaching our children the Gospel in ways they can understand and at the same time don't water down deep truth. That second book is "The Prince's Poison Cup" by Dr. R.C Sproul. The Prince in the story represents Christ and the story centers around explaining to children that the work of Christ was to take the cup of God's wrath for our sin.
It paints a beautiful picture of Christ's death and resurrection for the ungodly against the staggering backdrop of our sin. You can pick this up from Ligonier Ministries or Amazon. Our children loved it and it really helped them understand and hopefully this will continue to lead them to a deeper love for Jesus. Of course our hope, as is the hope of every parent, is that one day God will redeem our children and cover them in Christ's blood.
Hope this is helpful to you!
